Shock SuspenStories 5, a 1952 cover by Wally Wood. My only concern with the image? The victim is white. 1952 was the first year since 1881 when there were no reports of lynching in the US. But in the 70 prior years, when the Tuskegee Institute and Chicago Tribune kept independent records, 4,726 person were lynched and 3,431 were African Americans. #goldenagecomics#ec#shocksuspenstories#lynching#wallywood#igcomicfamily
